Tissue-specific expression analysis of Na+ and Cl− transporter genes associated with salt removal ability in rice leaf sheath

Abstract Background A significant mechanism of salt-tolerance in rice is the ability to remove Na+ and Cl− in the leaf sheath, which limits the entry of these toxic ions into the leaf blade. The leaf sheath removes Na+ mainly in the basal parts, and Cl− mainly in the apical parts. These ions are unl...
